Croeso i Blwyddyn 4 - 2025/2026

Hawthorn Class - Mrs Morris & Mrs Woolston

Hazel Class - Miss Knowles

A very warm welcome to Year Four's classroom page. As a team, we are very excited to share the learning experiences of the pupils, important information and overviews of the next context. 

 

Our new context for learning this term is 'Pwy Ydyn Ni?' Pupils will be considering how identity and diversity are integral to our community. We will be focusing on what makes us as individuals unique, as well as what makes us welsh. Our pupils will be learning what being welsh means to them and how we can celebrate each other's cultural identities. There will be lots of exciting learning opportunities on offer. For example, to bring the curriculum to life, our pupils will be learning about foods from other cultures around the world and will have the opportunity to taste these!                                                                                                                                                                   

In the following weeks, the pupils will be provided with opportunities to experience:      

• Undertaking a science experiment to look at reversible and irreversible changes within cooking a context              
• Carrying out enquiries and mathematical tasks to represent data collected by pupils 
• Applying literacy skills to write about poetry places or objects that make us feel welsh  
• Using literacy skills to write and create new recipes 
• Asking good questions and using their knowledge to develop their understanding of the Welsh community and culture using a plethora of sources.
